2006 Ferrante Riesling - IntoWineTV Episode 51
Is California the only American region producing great wine? In this episode of IntoWineTV, host Lisa Kolenda and wine experts Bartholomew Broadbent and Pamela Busch convene at San Francisco's CAV Wine Bar & Kitchen for the tasting and discussion of 25 different American wines NOT from California. On what was one of the hottest San Francisco days in recent memory (for those of you unfamiliar with the city, few places have air conditioning in San Francisco), Lisa, Bartholomew, and Pamela weathered the elements and tasted a variety of wines -sparklers, whites, reds, unique varietals, and sweet dessert wines- from Ohio, New York, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virginia, New Mexico, Texas, Washington, and Oregon.
Theme: Underdog Wines. In this tasting IntoWine is featuring wines from American producers found outside the state of California.
Wine: 2006 Ferrante Golden Bunches Dry Riesling and the 2006 Ferrante Signature Series Riesling ($15 each)

Nice to see some coverage on Ohio wines. Ferrante is a winery that is crossing over from tourist/restaurant winery to making bona fide quality wines. They certainly have a good following in local supermarkets and wine shops. Perhaps their best, IMO, is a Vidal Blanc Ice Wine.
Ferrante is in northeast Ohio, just east of Cleveland and the wine region here hugs the shore of Lake Erie. It is very similar to the Niagara Region of Ontario.
